	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		Before work, I headed to the second-hand store next door to my workplace to return the dysfunctional shredder.
		The cashier told me to go pick out an item of equal value to basically trade for, so I tried to do that.
		I found two baking dishes that combined would be of greater value, and planned to pay the difference.
		At that point, I realized that I don&apos;t have oven mitts.
		What good are baking dishes without oven mitts?
		The store didn&apos;t have any oven mitts for me to buy too though, so I&apos;d have to wait to use my new baking dishes.
		I also looked into getting a water-resistant coat, but the coats there were too expensive for me.
	</p>
	<p>
		I took my selections to the front counter, but it turned out that one of the baking dishes was part of a set.
		To buy it, I&apos;d need to locate the other piece.
		I didn&apos;t have time for that, I was already almost late to work.
		I asked if there was any way that I could save the credit for another day.
		I was almost certain that I couldn&apos;t and I&apos;d need to keep the shredder and return it another day.
		However, they put the money on a gift card for me.
		Why couldn&apos;t they have done that in the first place instead of asking me to go get an item of equal value!?
		Had they done that, I wouldn&apos;t have wasted time trying to find a second baking dish I liked; I&apos;d have just saved part of the credit.
		I didn&apos;t have time to spend part of the credit on the baking dish I wanted more and that didn&apos;t have a second piece either; there wasn&apos;t time, and they initially loaded the full credit on the card instead of applying part of it to the baking dish.
	</p>
	<p>
		At work, one of the customers asked me about my move, so I said that it went well, but I&apos;m still missing a few key items.
		They asked what I was missing, so I mentioned that I don&apos;t have a bed frame, oven mitts, and some other items that I don&apos;t recall.
		They said that the Dollar Tree has oven mitts.
		Nice!
		It&apos;ll take me some time to get over there, but they&apos;ll be less expensive than second-hand oven mitts for sure.
	</p>
	<p>
		It seems that Value Village, the second-hand store closer to my home, is going out of business.
		Sad.
		They&apos;re having a closeout sale on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth though, and everything will be fifty percent off, so I&apos;ll go check that out.
		I&apos;ll probably try to make in in on the eleventh, when they still have the largest selection, but I&apos;ll also probably be going again on the twelfth as well.
		A friend from work invited me to go along with themself and another friend from work.
		It&apos;s a great excuse to hang out for a bit, so I don&apos;t want to miss that, but I also want to get a chance to check out the larger selection.
	</p>
	<p>
		Once I got home, I spent the rest of the night washing laundry and working on coursework.
	</p>
	<p>
		My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
